"We have been having dinner outside recently. While we were having dinner, someone came from the employee passage and handed me a business card directly, expressing his hope that we can contact him." As he said that, Li Chenggang had already handed the business card to He Rui.

He Rui took it and looked at it. It turned out to be the business card of the general manager of the German Schuler Machinery Company. The company had not officially opened a sales department in China at this time, so it was not well-known in China. The reason is very simple. Schuler Machinery Company mainly serves German and European users, and the mechanical equipment it produces is quite famous in Europe.

Li Chenggang introduced the recent incident. Although French companies are competing for cooperation with China, China and France have direct channels, and each company is trying to meet and negotiate with the Chinese delegation as soon as possible. After receiving the news, companies from other European countries rushed to Paris to strive to meet with the Chinese delegation and need cooperation opportunities.

After saying this, Li Chenggang tentatively said: "Chairman, there are also many excellent companies in Europe..."

"Not now." He Rui immediately replied: "Cooperation requires sincerity. France is looking forward to promoting the French economy through cooperation with China. Moreover, there are fewer industries in the world and shorter industrial chains. Having a full industrial chain is the standard configuration of the world's great powers. In the current situation, in the first year, or even the second year, France will try to use orders to meet the domestic demand of France. If we pick and choose in Europe at this time, it will affect our cooperation with France."

Although Li Chenggang was a little disappointed, he understood He Rui's decision and asked, "What about 3 years later?"

"Three years later, the first thing we see is whether we can master the use of French production equipment and related process technology. Also, whether we can have a team of industrial workers and engineers. Using better technologies and equipment will have a tiny impact on us. Is the number of engineers, college students, and various technical jobs in our country enough to undertake so many industries introduced from France?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Chenggang immediately thought about it, and the number of college students majoring in engineering that China now graduates every year. Even if the Northeast government does its best to unify China and develops with all its strength, now there are less than 20,000 university engineering graduates every year in China and the number of international students is less than 20,000.

France graduates about 40,000 fresh engineers every year. China's population size is 10 times that of France. In theory, the industrial scale should be 10 times that of France, and at least 400,000 fresh graduates each year. Now China's educational capabilities only meet 5% of the demand.

"Save your business card first. When we go to Germany, if we have the chance, we will hold some cocktail parties and invite these companies to China." He Rui replied...

"Yeah." Li Chenggang nodded slightly. It was discussed at a meeting held by the central government before. Everyone believed that Germany's education system was the most advanced in the world at this time. He Rui visited Germany with the purpose of signing an education system exchange agreement with the German government.

At this time, the main countries that are friendly to foreign countries are the Soviet Union and France, so trade exchanges with other countries must be concerned about France's feelings. France can understand China's demand for the education system and can accept Sino-German cooperation in this field. But it is not possible in other fields. Therefore, this business card is actually valuable.

Standing up, Li Chenggang said, "I will hand over these business cards to Minister Yan."

"Yeah." He Rui responded. Of course, professional departments are responsible for these things, and He Rui only needs to be responsible for his own work. When Li Chenggang left, He Rui lay on the sofa and considered the current situation in Europe. France made a lot this time and is likely to rise again. With the help of the current changes, France is likely to expand its influence in Central and Eastern Europe. This will inevitably cause uneasiness between Britain and Italy.

Therefore, European countries will now consider comparing the preferential treatment obtained by China through the economic and trade cooperation agreement signed by France and China, and putting the same demands on France. They will also demand the same treatment as France through the economic and trade cooperation agreement between China and France. Is China's next foreign minister capable of dealing with these tasks?

The next day, He Rui, accompanied by the French President, visited the south of France as a plan. Along the way, he visited many French companies, and without exception, these French companies were the chairman as the guide and the general manager as the entourage, which fully demonstrated the humility of the French.

He Rui found that he was not proud of himself. The reason why the owners and operators of these French companies were not for He Rui, but for business. He Rui had nothing to show off. After a 7-day trip, He Rui saw France. These industries were indeed not worth mentioning to China in the 21st century. In 1928, it was one of the few powerful industries in the world.

The comrades from the Ministry of Industry who accompanied him were very moved at meetings every night that in the past 10 years, China's industry has indeed developed tremendously under the leadership of the Civilized Party, but this progress has only solved the problem of whether there is any problem. China's industrial level is indeed far inferior to France.

Zheng Anguo, Director of the Planning Department of the Ministry of Industry, speaks every day, "At this stage, we have begun to solve industrial problems with modular ideas, and France has not yet entered this stage. Today, we will negotiate cooperation with companies in Marseille. Comrades will understand the situation of these companies as soon as possible and submit the report."

There are not many things that support the confidence of the Chinese delegation, but they are very important. First of all, China's industrial development ideas are indeed more advanced than those of France or even Europe. This kind of advancedness is not that French companies are not good, but that French systems are not good. Under the socialist system, the government is the dominant country's economy, so whether there is a social consensus has limited impact on the direction of industrial development and policy formulation.

France can definitely understand modular design and have the ability to recognize the advantages of this design. However, France has no way to force it without consensus. Therefore, France's complete sets of equipment are full of various "non-standard designs". After China receives these equipment, it must first analyze the French equipment based on China's modular design ideas, and gradually replace it with Chinese domestic equipment in future equipment replacements.

In addition to industrial planning and design, the social system also determines many things. In economic development, old technologies are destined to be eliminated, which will lead to changes in the proportion of different industries in the national economy. In the policies formulated by He Rui, China must seize the key to the internal combustion engine revolution and strive to promote the development of electrification. Technology and enterprises in the steam era will be greatly impacted. First, China has no burden of the steam era, and second, it has a socialist system. It is very easy to adjust. But France is different. So many companies that are famous in the steam era will not withdraw willingly, and they also have to strive for the opportunity to continue to survive.

Although there is nothing to blame for this idea and reaction, this reaction has indeed greatly affected France's industrial progress. Seeing China's institutional advantages with one's own eyes, the delegation members have become much more confident about rapid development.

Moreover, China does not have any advantage at all. In many details, China surpasses France. For example, the catalysts in synthesis of ammonia and the ‘powder metallurgy’ technology used by China when mass production of non-standard parts. After introducing complete sets of French equipment, China can immediately adjust and improve these details so that the introduced technical equipment can operate efficiently.

He Rui did not participate in these jobs. He was drinking a glass of brandy at the farewell dinner with the French President. He Rui said tiredly: "Mr. Dumeg, I really hope to welcome you in China as soon as possible."

President Dumeg is in his 60s. He Rui was exhausted during this visit, and the old man was even more tired. At this time, the banquet had ended. President Dumeg smiled weakly and said: "Berian believes that taking a boat to China with Mr. He is not in line with diplomatic rules."

"Oh..." He Rui held the wine glass and sipped slowly. French Foreign Minister Berlin had nothing wrong with his opinion, but He Rui felt that Dumeg wanted to ignore so many rules, China and France were both great powers, so rules were dead and people lived.

Putting down the wine glass, He Rui smiled and said, "Mr. Dumeg, do you want to go to China for a vacation? France is still very cold in February, but in cities in southern China, you can wear single clothes. It is very suitable for winter."

Dumeg's eyes lit up and felt that this was indeed a good idea. At this time, France was already full of enthusiasm for cooperation with China, so Dumeg's visit to China would not be hindered. If he went to China for the reason of vacation...

"I do want to go on vacation in Indochina, where the tropical scenery is very missed," Dumeg replied.

He Rui didn't care, so he smiled and said, "Then I'm not sure if I can reach Mr. Dumeg's ship back to Asia when I finish my visit in Europe."

"This is the honor of France." Dumeg replied kindly.

"Then it's just a matter of determination." He Rui raised the wine glass in his hand.

Dumeg picked up the wine glass beside him and raised it, "I wish Mr. He Rui a good journey in Italy."

On February 13, the Siping light cruiser He Rui was riding left Marseille Port with the farewell of French President Dumeg, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and others. He Rui stood on the deck and waved goodbye to the French President and others on the shore, and returned to the cabin until the people could no longer see them.

The next stop is Italy, known as "pauper imperialism". He Rui did not underestimate Italy, because Italy still tried its best to develop its economy with such a bad endowment, which is already very outstanding. Moreover, Italy has made great achievements in the fields of machinery, shipbuilding, etc. If it were not for the Sino-French cooperation, it would be impossible for China to introduce technical equipment from other countries first. He Rui would like to take the initiative to invite a group of Italian shipbuilding engineers to China to participate in China's ongoing technical research and development team of "segmented shipbuilding".

Looking at the calm sea surface of the Mediterranean, He Rui really hoped that everything would go smoothly.
